Extract, convert, merge, split and compress PDFs.
PDFGPT handles the routine PDF operations: pulling text out, converting to plain text, merging several files into one, splitting a long document, and compressing scans. It distinguishes text-layer PDFs from scanned images and treats each correctly.
The PDFGPT interface runs here. While it is being connected, the guidance below covers how to use it, what it handles well and where it falls short — the same information you would want before running a first job.
Input
A 14-page digitally generated PDF with a text layer, two columns and footnotes.
Result
Exact characters with no recognition error, running headers flagged for removal, and a warning that column reading order should be checked at each section break.
Input
A 180-page colour scan at 400 DPI, 240 MB.
Result
Converted to greyscale at 300 DPI, reduced to roughly 34 MB, with text still sharp at full zoom and the original retained as the master copy.
Uploaded PDFs are processed to produce your result and are not kept as a permanent archive. Redact sensitive fields you do not need processed, and remember that a black rectangle drawn over selectable text does not remove it.
